Summary
10,000 simulations from SportsLine project Knicks-Spurs Game 3 to finish below 216.5 points, with the teams combining for 214 and the Under hitting in 53.1% of runs.
New York enters Monday at Madison Square Garden up 2-0 after a 105-104 Game 2 win, with the Knicks listed as 2.5-point favorites and -131 on the money line.
The model projects Victor Wembanyama to score 27.7 points for San Antonio, while Jalen Brunson leads New York at 25.8 and four Knicks reach at least 15 points.
Recent trends also lean low-scoring: the Under has hit in the last three head-to-head meetings, four of San Antonio's last six games and three of New York's last five.
Game 3 offers a pivotal swing in a Finals matchup featuring New York's first appearance since 1999 and San Antonio's first since its 2014 title run.
